History

Hyatt Regency Delhi Design

Asian Hotels (North) Ltd was incorporated in 1980 and was promoted by R S Saraf, R K Jatia, Chaman Lal Gupta, three Non-Resident Indians together with Sushil Gupta and Shiv Jatia, their Indian Associates. The builders entered into a 10-year franchise agreement with Hyatt International,[4] and the new hotel was the chain's first hotel in India.[5] The hotel's construction was spurred by the Asian Games[6] in 1982.[7] The Hyatt Regency Delhi opened in 1983.[8]

The hotel briefly ceased to be associated with Hyatt Hotels on November 6, 2020[9] before it entered bankruptcy in 2021.[10] It has since rejoined the chain.
